Summary

[edit]
Chinese woodcut: 'Kidney' abscess
Title
Chinese woodcut: 'Kidney' abscess
Description

Woodblock illustration of 'kidney' abscess (shen yong) fromWaike tushuo(Pictorial Manual of External Medicine), published in 1856 (6th year of the Xianfeng reign period of the Qing dynasty). The illustration indicates the site of this pathology and its external symptoms, i.e. redness, heat, pain and swelling of the scrotum. The condition is termed kidney abscess because the scrotum is known as the external kidneys (waishen). The author of the manual advocates internal drug treatment as well as surgical incision to drain the pus. According to the captions on the illustration, moxibustion can also be employed.
